I have a blue badge, do I have to pay for the drop off?
If you are a Blue Badge holder being dropped off at the airport by friends or by taxi you are exempt from drop-off charges, as long as you register your number plate in advance. To register click here.
The Blue badge exemption is valid for a 30 minute free drop off session, up to three hours of your chosen start time. You are not permitted to leave your vehicle unattended on the Drop-Off Terminal Forecourts.
You can register anytime from three months before your flight up to the day before you travel, each time you fly. The vehicle owner can also register their number plate on behalf of the Blue Badge holder being dropped off, as long as they can provide evidence of a Blue Badge.
An exemption can be applied for by creating an online account and providing the information below:
Passengers name/s
Date of flight(s)
Vehicle number plate
A photo or scan of the Blue Badge
Your account can be used to register and view your exemptions for upcoming visits to the airport, you must apply for each exemption a minimum of 24 hours in advance of your visit through your account.
If you are arriving by taxi you can register for an exemption using the taxi number plate. You can request this from the taxi company in advance and use the confirmation email to show your taxi driver that you are exempt. You must register the taxi details in advance to be exempt from the drop-off charge.
If the vehicle is registered to an Autopay account, please ensure this is disabled when utilising a Blue Badge drop-off exemption, in order to avoid charges being debited automatically.
An exemption must be applied for 24 hours before the date of travel to allow adequate time for it to be processed. Applications on or after may not be accepted.
We recommend that all passengers use the Short Stay car parks for picking up as this tends to take longer than dropping off. Please note that normal charges apply in the car parks.
